We were taking the Metro from Namdaemun on our way back home to Imundong when we bumped into a family of six from Malaysia who turned out to be having their Winter vacation in Korea. Wow what a coincidence. We felt like brothers already since we came from Southeast Asia. What struck me most when we met them was the fact that the family of six came to Korea for their Winter vacation to see the snow...but unfortunately..they did not see any, yet.
We chatted along the way on the Seoul Metro and got a chance to exchange address and promised to keep in touch.
I was touched by the fact that they did enjoy having their one-week trip in Korea.
and...what's more interesting than that....was the fact that they brought up 70% of the family members. (I mean: two stayed home due to their jobs back home). But.....the idea of having a trip for the whole family to Korea was more than intriguing for me.
Before saying goodbye..we managed to take a picture as a token of memory at the Dongdaemun Station.
